Hi Chregu
comments (who involve ... only me ...);
- the blade looks more Indo-Persian than Ottoman
- the "cross" on top of the handle ... difficult to imagine, that this dagger was belonging to a Muslim
- the handle design is more in Asia-Minor style than Turkish
- for the age, I guess ± 19th C.
appreciation;
- very attractive dagger, I like the blade and the handle's decor and appreciable that the scabbard been present and in good condition
nice catch ... congratulations
